Pages

I get tons of e-mails every day at work and I'm sure you do, too. Many of them are just for info (or what I call business spam) and go pretty much straight into the recycle bin. And yet, sometime in summer, there was one of these e-mails that instantly caught my eye. The subject line contained a familiar name, the name of a dear colleague, and the e-mail was sent to give a heads-up that the person has given notice :(

Fast-forward, her last day with the company happens to be this week. Eeek! So, what's a crafty girl gotta do? Of course making a farewell mini album and card so she never gets to forget us and to wishing her all the best for her new adventures :)

I prepared and embellished the pages so that fifteen of her closest coworkers each had a double page for their photos and journaling. Some of them took it further and glued a favorite recipe down or even hand-drew a picture.

With so many personal notes, I hope you understand I won't show you the inside pages en detail. However, before I wrote into the album, I took a picture of part of my double page:

Of course, there is also a card to greet her right from the desk on her last day.

A lot of Silhouette cuts and sketched fonts all around... and did you notice? It's getting a bit more autumnal around here. Hope you enjoyed stopping by today! Have a fabulous week :)

Hi everyone, how's it going in your part of the world? Now that summer is officially over we're blessed with beautiful, sunshiny weather :) Also, you may have seen it already on Instagram - I spent this last weekend of summer with Nina at her brother's (and his girlfriends') home. And what a nice weekend it was! We had tickets for a BOY concert on Friday and were spoiled with the loveliest hosts, yummy food and a city tour by bike... and of course, I forgot to take a proper camera along. D'oh! iPhone to the rescue ;-)

Luckily, Nina had a camera in her bag! She has some of the photos on her blog, as well as a cute, altered frame she made for her brother's birthday. By the way, while the two ladies of BOY gave their last concert in Germany for this year, you can still see them in France, Belgium, the UK, Denmark etc. over the next few weeks. Worth to save up your pennies, I dare say :) Now, you won't let me go without something crafty, right? So how about this little summer birthday card?

I like these dangling loose ends of thread lately as well as the vellum. There's something delicate and soft about it... Anyhow, how did you spent the last summer weekend? These ever inquiring minds need to know ;)
